Mr Martin is the chairman of the Blackall-Tambo Wild Dog Advisory Committee. He says every farmer has a role to play in controlling wild dog numbers.

"The only way we're going to get anywhere towards reducing and controlling dog numbers is through coordination.

"We're starting to get collaboration...and that's not a bad thing."

Landholders from the Tambo area are currently working on a proposal to construct a wild dog fence, enclosing close to 750,000 acres of prime sheep country.

Mr Martin says the project, which is similar to one underway near Morven, will bring about change to the local economy by offering an added level of security for producers wanting to get back into the sheep industry.
